Hi all,
I currently have a mortgage of £135,000 against a house now worth £200,000.
My 3-year fixed term ends in April and I am currently fixed at 5.7%
I need to get £25,000 added to the mortgage to pay for the renovation which has already been completed on the house.
The last 12 months has been tough work-wise and the mortgage payments have bounced 3 times (although always paid within a few days after).
Is it likely that I will be able to borrow £160,000 on a house worth £200,000 after having these missed payments.
I hope someone can help advise me?
thanks in advance

You don't say how much your income is. Is it enough for a £160k mortgage - ie over 40k? Contact your lender first to see if they can offer you additional lending0

I self-certified the original mortgage as I had only just started my company and didn't have 3 years worth of accounts.0
-
If you're asking for additional borrowing, your income will have to be verified. Do you have 3 years of accounts which show you a high enough income for £160k? Otherwise additional borrowing is a non starter0

Fat chance if you've only self-certified I'd say - it's often been used to "cheat" to get more money than was allowed - and this option is now shut down as an option to borrow.Feb 2012 - onwards MF achieved

Suggest you sell and downsize.
If you've been struggling to meet your current mortgage repayments, then increasing the debt owed will compound the problem further.
What's your income prediction for 10/11?0 -
to take more money out would be madness0
